Osx Tiger Ichat

Any known issues with setting up ichat?
I am able to communicate text but get an error message with any attempts at audio connection. The message is "xxxxxx is not responding" even when we are aware that the other party has pressed the appropriate button.

yeah, got that all the time when i was connected to the Vatican server in Rome and tried to use iChat to call my girlfriend for free. it is firewall-related.

Open iChat Connection Doctor from the Video menu for a more detailed explanation of the problem. It's almost certainly a firewall issue.

The apple Document on "Well Know" TCF/IP ports that OS X uses maybe be of some help if it is a firewall issue.
